[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 457089"] You did the right thing. Pot is never a good sign--in young people, always a bad sign--and always suggests the use of other drugs (ask anyone who's ever smoked it with any regularity, as I did in my youth: it truly is a gateway drug). The purchase of the scale is particularly ominous--buyers don't need a scale, but sellers do. In any event, refusal to live by household rules settles the matter: putting him out was your only option, and the correct decision. "Looking the other way" is always ruinous--this sort of thing needs to be confronted head-on and emphatically. You made the right call. I worry about the combination of his lack of money for tuition/expenses and the purchase of that scale, if you gather my meaning. But he's 19 and is accountable for his decisions as a legal adult. And given what he's done, he doesn't deserve and shouldn't receive parental help with expenses or tuition--he's on his own, by his choice. [/QUOTE]
